Bloodhound, the game’s mysterious gender non-binary tracker being, is arguably one of the most interesting characters in the entire _ Apex _ arena. However, their Tactical Ability is questionable for Solos, and their Ultimate Ability is simply not useful in this m

This lightweight sniper rifle has a few advantages that help to combat the drawbacks of its weapon class, but ultimately still has a difficult time overcoming them. It kicks out bullets faster than its counterparts, keeping a little more utility as you track your shots and the enemy closes

Gibraltar, as well as Caustic, both have Fortified Passive Perks that allows these characters to take 15% more damage and also prevents the movement slowdown that other characters get upon taking shots. Developed as a response to their under-utilization as players gravitated toward stronger characters, this still hasn’t done much to increase Gibraltar’s popularity with gam

**Apex Legends ** may not be the Titanfall 3 some fans were hoping for from developer Respawn Entertainment but it's the best battle royale game on the market. Respawn and publisher Electronic Arts' surprise release is instead a spinoff of the Titanfall series but barely resembles the mech-heavy, wall-running g

There are eight playable characters (called "Legends") in Apex Legends at launch, and each squad member must choose differently. Two of the starting eight Legends must be unlocked through earning in-game currency or spending real-world money. Apex Legends embraces a totally free-to-play model on its platforms (Origin on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox O

That downer aside, Apex Legends must be applauded for offering such a deep and polished experience from the get-go. Without any demo or beta tests, Apex Legends launched without a hitch and actually functions better than most full-retail triple-A online games. We can't emphasize enough how refreshing it is to have a polished battle royale game, that's also a polished triple-A online title, that's also F

Played strictly in three-player squads across one map (called "Kings Canyon") that supports 60 players total with characters who each have their own unique abilities, right away Apex Legends differentiates itself from the competition. Its class (character) based gameplay that highlights the unique personalities and gear of each character is best compared to Overwatch , and the game also draws its monetization strategy from Blizzard's shooter as well. When it comes to its first-person gunplay however, Apex Legends plays more like Black Ops 4's Blackout mode but with more diverse gameplay and more layers of mechanics and control, including in the game's animati

Apex Legends is remarkably similar to Fortnite at first glance. The new shooter is also a free to play Battle Royale game. Apex Legends has also seen the massive explosion in popularity just like Fortnite , and many have started saying that Apex Legends could be the death of Fortni

That really is the summary, unfortunately. It's terribly inaccurate and leaves you with your pants around your ankles way more often than you should be comfortable with. Give this a hard pass as soon as something else comes up, but appreciate its limited charms if you really need

Their abilities are all about analyzing player movement so they can figure out what the next best move is. A talented Bloodhound with a steady aim is the last thing you want to run into in King's Can

Apex Legends has a balanced and satisfying spread of weapons, providing more than enough options to keep things fun and varied, but without going overboard and overwhelming us with sheer volume. The gunplay itself is slick, smooth and fast-paced, being more than a little reminiscent of Titanfall ’s enjoyable shooting mechan

Allegra Clark is a voice actress who has appeared in numerous games over the years, most recently as Spider-Gwen in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. She, along with an audio modulator, gave life to Bloodhound's distinct shroud of a vo

Sometimes, in a 3v3 competitive team tactics play situation, Mirage players can get away with this in the confusion of a fight, where bullets, smoke, and gas all contribute to the chaos. In a 1v1 Solo Mode situation, it’s hard to say that the decoy will do much beyond allowing the enemy to infer a Mirage’s location based on the direction the decoy r

But it's not just about improving what already works from the battle royale genre since Apex Legends adds many all-new features too. Matches are fast and usually completed in less than 20 minutes. At the beginning of a given match there's a dropship players jump from, like any other battle royale, but in this one players jump together as a squad and one player is designated the "Jumpmaster" to keep them together. Players can manually separate from the pack of course, but it's a smart change to enforce the idea that Apex Legends is a truly a squad-based game. There currently are no solo or duo mo
